Who will have access to my patients health information through currentcare?
By enrolling in currentcare, your patients authorize individual licensed practitioners who are treating them to access currentcare in an emergency or other unanticipated health event. Additionally, your patients may also to choose ahead of time to allow all health care professionals who are involved in their care to access their health information, or they can limit access to their information to just certain provider organizations (for example, one or more physician offices, nursing homes, or hospitals). When they authorize a provider organization to access their information, they authorize all health care professionals at that organization who are authenticated currentcare users to access their information.
